The Eye Book (Bright & Early Books)

'My eyes see. His eyes see. I see him. And he sees me.' With text as simple as simple can be, Dr. Seuss uses humor and rhythm to encourage the very youngest children to discover the joy of reading. A big-eyed boy and a pink-eyed rabbit cavort through the book, seeing everything there is to see: a girl, a horse, an old tin can, the sun, the moon--even pink underpants (which makes them both blush). Rhyming objects give the brief 'story' a lilting, happy cadence, and Joe Mathieu's cartoonish colorful pictures provide easy clues to the text. This is a friendly introduction to the wide, wondrous world of seeing and reading.

This is a book for beginner readers. I would use this book with pre-school and kindergarten students. It is a Dr. Seuss book that has great illustrations by Joe Mathieu. It teaches the name of different items and colors, so students can start to recognize these items, colors, our five senses, animals, etcetera.

pretty inane, but I have to remind myself it's an early-reader, not a read-aloud. Now, if only I could actually get madu to read anything...

Not sure why E liked it. It's definitely too old for her. But she did.

summary: The eye book is a book describing what our eyes see. The words are few and easy and rhythm to get the kids involved.

personal reaction: This book would be a good book for young children because it is short and simple and fun.

Classroom extension: draw wahat you see with your eyes.

Great book to teach smaller children about what their eyes do. Compares different things with eyes.
